Father's Day 2022 & A Birthday

 On Sunday, we celebrated both Father's Day, and our middle granddsughter Dara's 11th birthday. It was a beautiful day, so we went to our son's home and gathered out back. Dara had been really wanting the Vans checkerboard shoes, and was over the moon when she opened them.



Vivian waited patiently nearby, hoping for any stray crumbs.


Our youngest, Jazz, showed us how she can do a combination somersault/split.



Grandpa & Dara.


A square Father's Day balloon!


As we got in the car to leave, Jazz picked me this sweet little flower, the perfect ending to the day.

Oh what a wonderful birthday and Father's day. She did look so excited. I remember when I used to get up and not make a sound too.

What a perfectly wonderful time! Dara was so cute when she opened her shoes. How sweet to be able to give her exactly what she wanted. Jazz certainly is nimble, and cute too. And a precious time celebrating Phil as well! Good job all. I love that balloon! xoxo

Happy Birthday to your granddaughter! What a fun day she had. Wow, look at Jazz doing a somersault/split. Brings back memories. When I was a Cheerleader, we had to learn to do the Splits haha. Always keep this picture of her. It's not an easy thing to do. What a sweet flower she picked for you.
